Shin Kamen Rider
The best superhero movie of the year didn’t come from the seemingly declining era of Marvel and DC Comics at the box office: it came from Japan. Neon Genesis Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno’s latest re-imagining of a legendary Tokusatsu franchise saw him take on one of his own heroic influences, Kamen Rider, in a gripping, brutal, and unflinchingly sentimental examination of power and how people wield it. And yes, the action is unlike anything you’ve seen on top of all that good stuff, to boot.
Shin Kamen Rider is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
